Pasco County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) are developing a watershed model and associated Watershed Management Plan for the Cypress Creek watershed.
Once approved, the model results will be used by the City, County and the SWFWMD in their respective permitting programs. The model results may also be used to update FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) to help communities manage floodplains and flood risk and provide information to assist homeowners in making decisions about protecting their property and planning for emergencies.
Please refer to the Read Me document (provided below) for more information about the watershed study and the projected timeline, contact information and a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
Note: This is an update to the previous Cypress Creek watershed study that was completed and approved by the Governing Board on 4/27/2010.
